To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gy. X3806 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gy2/LG5.4.29. CENTRAL LUBRICATION. Since the exclusion of air is a vital necessity for the proper operation of the Bijur system, we think that the connecting ~~pipe~~ up of the drip plugs should be left to the Test Dept. The Erecting Bay should fit Bijurs in their proper positions on the chassis according to the charts we issue and the pipe lines independently, then when the chassis arrives in the Test Dept. oil can be put into the tank, the air progressively forced out, and the drip plugs connected.
